My child couldn't stop talking about it after we left, and kept saying they wanted to come back!

🌳 Spring outings and sea views are amazing 💕! My child couldn't stop talking about it after we left, and kept saying they wanted to come back 😍! 👀 The beautiful Ming Tombs Reservoir is like it's been enchanted. The lake seems to be cut in half by time, and the surrounding mountains have the ruggedness of winter, but are also quietly nurturing life. 🌟 Today I have to share this treasure route with you all. You can take in the reservoir and the mountains, and you can also climb to the top to check in at Beijing's "Little Tianchi". It's simply the perfect choice for a parent-child hike in early spring 👏! —— ❓️ Where is this? 👉 Changping - Python Mountain Loop 📍 Navigate to "Beijing Grand Epoch City Phoenix Mountain Hotel", turn left at the entrance and keep going 💵 Free to visit 🚶 Hiking information revealed ✅ The loop is approx. 6.5 km long ✅ Varied road conditions: wooden boardwalk + dirt road + paved steps ✅ Super fun route: Lacebark pine forest ➡️ Python Devouring Stone Path ➡️ Chentai ➡️ Wuxuan Path ➡️ Wuguantai ➡️ Qianshou Path ➡️ Little Tianchi ➡️ Starting point ✅ From the starting point of the trail, take the small road to the left of the white house and walk into the pine forest. After about 300m, you will see the wooden boardwalk. Just follow it up the mountain; ✅ The Python Devouring Stone Path is the "highlight" of the climb. In just 1.5 km, you'll climb 400m+, which is a challenge for your heart, lungs, glutes, and legs 💪, but the scenery is super beautiful. Every step you take, the reservoir and mountains have a different beauty; ✅ At Wuxuan Path, it's much easier to walk inside the wall. The narrow stone slab road on the outside has gaps in some places, so those of you with children must be careful not to step on them ⚠️; ✅ You can only see Tianchi from Wuguantai. Wuguantai is for viewing Tianchi, the Ming Tombs, Beijing, the forest, and the starry sky~ I only counted 9 places in the Ming Tombs, come and count how many you can find 😜; ✅ I walked the counterclockwise trail, but you can also walk clockwise. It's just that the downhill will be more concentrated. Choose according to your preferences; ⚠️ 🚻 There are no restrooms or supply points on the mountain, but there are restrooms at the foot of the mountain. ⚠️ Travel responsibly and leave no trace in the outdoors! Littering is not allowed 🙅‍♀️! Follow me and explore all the mountains and fields of Beijing!
